Well, I wish I'm not saying this just for the reason this is a FC2
list, but MS DNS server integrated with Active Directory does provide
a "Multi-Master" environment instead of the traditional Master/Salve
setup. and if integrated with MS DHCP server, it also allows automatic
DNS updates of the client records as well. And it's very easy to
setup.(minus the AD part that is). With that said, I wouldn't go as
far as to host any public DNS zones on the Internet with it, I'm just
not comfortable with MS boxes talking to the internet directly in any
way. But for internal DNS zones...sure, it's easier to manage for most
people than to run FC with BIND.
